King George Sailing Club
King George Sailing Club, Lea Valley Road, London, E4 7PX.
The King George Sailing Club was founded more than 30 years ago to provide dinghy sailing and windsurfing on the largest and best sailing water in the north and east of London. The Club enjoys facilities both on and off the water and has an active membership engaged in racing, learning to sail, casual sailing, and windsurfing. In recognition of our good facilities and encouragement of youth sailing, the Royal Yachting Association has awarded the club Volvo Champion Club status.
Our Facilities
The Club sails on 240 acres of open water raised 20 metres above the surrounding countryside, so relatively clear and consistent winds are available. The sailing programme is all year round, and members from coastal clubs, who want to enjoy the nearest thing to the sea in North London, are welcome to join the club for the winter months
The Club has a large car park, and large dinghy park. There are modern changing rooms with hot showers, and facilities for sailors with disabilities. Plus there is a canteen for food and drinks, and a Clubhouse with licensed bar for regular social events.
On the water, you can enjoy easy launching and can step into your boat from the pontoons with dry feet. Windsurfers have their own grass area for rigging and launching is safe. Well-equipped safety boats provide safety cover on club days, which together with a Committee boat, provide high quality racing. For those not going afloat, there is an indoor viewing area to watch the action, with good views over the whole water.
